  7. Proclamation of 1763 • The Proclamation of 1763, signed by King George III of England, prohibited any English settlement west of the Appalachian mountains. • It required people already settled in those regions to return east in an attempt to ease tensions with Native Americans. Colonist Response

  8. RESPONSEto Proclamation of 1763 Colonists resented not being able to settle west of the Proclamation line, especially in places like the Ohio Valley With the French removed, they believed it their right to stay. They felt betrayed and started to feel separate from the King Click picture to read the Real Proclamation!! Watch out it’s wordy!

  9. Sugar Act of 1764 • The Sugar Act (law) was passed by Parliament to pay for the war debt brought on by the French and Indian Warand tohelp pay for the expenses of running the colonies and newly acquired territories. • This is outrageous, they won the war for him now he says they must pay for it! • This act increased the duties (taxes) on imported sugar and other items such as textiles, coffee, wines and indigo (dye).

  10. Stamp Act of 1764 • In March, the Stamp Act was passed by Parliament imposing the first direct tax on the American colonies, to pay for the high costs of the British military (King was now sending troops to America) • Next Page.

  11. Stamp Act of 1764 • Under the Stamp Act, all printed materials were taxed, including: • newspapers • pamphlets • bills • legal documents • licenses • almanacs • dice and playing cards. Colonist Response

  12. RESPONSE to the Stamp Act • The American colonists quickly united in opposition in the Stamp Act Congress, led by the 27 delegates from 9 colonies. • They created the Declaration of Rights and Grievances in response to taxation without representation • The Stamp Act was repealed in 1776 Click the picture

  13. Townshend Acts • In 1767, The English Parliament passed the Townshend Revenue Acts, imposing a new series of taxes on the colonists to pay for the costs of administering and protecting the American colonies. Items taxed included imports such as paper, tea, glass, lead and paints. • This was smart, colonists could not make these items themselves Colonist Response

  14. Response to the Townshend Acts • Boycottstop buying goods! • If the colonists don’t buy the goods, the King doesn’t get his tax money

  15. Boston Massacre (March 5, 1770) The Boston Massacre occurred when a mob harassed British soldiers who then fired their muskets pointblank into the crowd, killing three instantly, wounding two others and injuring six. Colonist Response

  16. Boston Massacre RESPONSE The Boston Massacre was, of course, not a “massacre,” in the classic sense. Colonialist responded through propaganda (newspapers) and immediately capitalized on this incident, using the incident to fan colonial passions of seeing the British unjustly governing the colonies. They used the incident to incite anti-British feelings.

  17. Boston Tea Party On the evening of December 16, 1773, a group of mencallingthemselves the "Sons of Liberty" went to the Boston Harbor. The men were dressed as Mohawk Indians. They boarded three British ships, the Beaver, the Eleanor and the Dartmouth, and dumped forty-five tons of tea into the Boston Harbor. Colonist Response

  18. What caused the Boston Tea Party to happen? • The Boston Tea Party was a direct response from the Tea Act (1773) • The Act did NOT increase the tax on tea, it created a monopoly on tea • Colonists could only buy tea from England

  19. Intolerable Acts • The Intolerable Acts (or Coercive Acts) were a series of laws sponsored by British Prime Minister Lord North and passed in 1774 in response to the Boston Tea Party. The laws were these: • Boston Port Act • Quartering Act • Quebec Act • Massachusetts Bay Regulating Act • Impartial Administration of Justice Act Colonist Response

  20. 1st Intolerable Act: Boston Port Act • Closed the port of Boston in 1774 until the price of the dumped tea was recovered, moved the capital of Massachusetts to Salem, and made Marblehead the official port of entry for the Massachusetts colony Intolerable Acts

  21. Quartering Act • Allowed royal troops to stay in the homes of any colonist or empty buildings if barracks were not available Intolerable Acts

  22. Quebec Act • Granted civil government and religious freedom to Catholics living in Quebec Intolerable Acts

  23. Massachusetts Regulating Act • Made all law officers subject to appointment by the royal governor and banned all town meetings that didn't have approval of the royal governor Intolerable Acts

  24. Impartial Administration of Justice Act • Allowed the royal governor of a colony to move trials to other colonies or even to England if he feared that juries in those colonies wouldn't judge a case fairly Intolerable Acts

  25. RESPONSE to the Intolerable Acts • These were by far the harshest of the acts passed. Those living in Boston and Massachusetts would lose money from the Boston Port Act, be forced to provide housing to soldiers through the Quartering Act, and be denied some of the same freedoms other colonists received through the Quebec Act. • The colonists called for a convention in response…the FIRST CONTINETNAL CONGRESS
